Hi Mr. G
Take a trip up the road to Dowty Propellers  I know the company (originally Rotol) weren't making propeller blades as early as your one, but someone may know! Rotol made blades for the spitfire amongst others.

P.S. I wonder if his elfin ears are burning?
Not loud enough 'cos Susan's got a point he's only down the road from Dowty's, and I bet they've got an archive.

Having done some more swatting up, it seems that the identifying features of a propeller are its diameter, direction of rotation, and pitch, which I think is the angle at which it slices the air, and these should give some clues to an expert on what it was designed for.
re the airport:It said on the Southern news that they were thinking of renaming Eastleigh airport but I see they've already put up a marvellous replica of the first Spitfire at the entrance. Here's another vote for RJ Mitchell.

I'm not an expert on prop's, but am interested in aviation (ex R.A.F.) so I am posting just to keep track of the thread.

P.S. Big weekend for me, I have an airobatic flight on Sat" and the rest of the next few days will be taken up with the "Red Bull air race", I met Peter Besnyer (air race followers will know who he is) this morning, so the weekend is off to a good start.
